Hi folks,

For starts, I'm not completely sure if this is the right section for this post but it didn't rly suit the others.

Now, please read the following and help me out :)

Whenever I get a project I want to work on, I work online, I create a subdomain for the project and everytime I save my files they automatically upload to the subdomain(this is a function in RapidPHP which I use to write my code). I do this so I can show people my progress and it's viewable everywhere. Now there's no problem there. (I do this on my main PC at home btw)

Now the following, I'm currently in college and we often get time to do stuff for ourselves, in this time I like to continue working on my projects. In college I use my laptop, which is connected to the college's network which has a proxy server that blocks FTP(and all other ports except HTTP and other requireds).

One way I could do it is:
Install a local webserver on my laptop and synch all the files from my PC to my laptop everytime I go to college, then when I come home again resynch them to my PC, however you can imagin having to dump MySQL DB's and restore them all the time is very time consuming and simply doesn't really work for me.

So guys, does anyone know a solution to my problem, or do I simply deal with it and only work on the projects at home?

If it's not completely clear, please let me know!
Thank you for reading my long and second post.

TL;DR version: I would like a way I can work on the same project(pref files online / FTP)with 2 different computers(home PC and laptop without FTP access).

If you can use SSH you should use than to not only securely copy any files you need, but also forward any arbitrary ports you like over the SSH connection.

Hey thanks for the reply,

unfortunatly my webhost does not support SSH and disables me from using an SSH connection on this one.

You have any more ideas?

Get a new Web Host. You don't want a web host that doesn't allow you to secure channels of communication between you and your server anyways.
